Introduction/Background:

The Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering is introducing a voluntary program by which students can gain introductory experience at metal machining and welding. Students will have the opportunity to receive hands-on training in George Brown’s extensive and up-to-date machining facilities. Engineers with a firm understanding of machining principals and limitations can design systems for quick and easy manufacture. Further, students interested in the vast array of campus groups such as the Solar Car Team and Formula SAE will find this training invaluable. All current U of T engineering students (undergraduate and graduate) are welcome to participate, including those on PEY.

There are four short courses available; each course is two days long and runs on weekends. There is a fee for each course; receipts will be issued for tax purposes. The four courses in this machining and welding program are as follows:

1/ Basic Machining (lathe, mill, drill press)
2/ Advanced Machining (pre-requisite: Basic Machining course)
3/ Machining III (pre-requisite: Advanced Machining course)
4/ Introduction to Welding

Details of material covered in each course are outlined on the course sign-up page. Note that the Basic Machining and Advanced Machining courses will be offered several times during the academic year; the Welding course is offered less frequently. Extra offerings of these short courses will be scheduled if there is sufficient student demand. The schedule for each two-day course is listed according its starting date (The second day of each course will normally be held one week after the first day).

Undergraduate engineering students and MIE graduate students will be eligible to use the MC 78 student machine shop once they complete the Basic Machining course. More details on requirements here.

Course Info:

This course presents further development of the concepts covered in the Advanced Machining course.
